Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

Nicolas, Really, What’s Up With The Hats?

June 16, 2013

In his efforts to imitate Hugo, Nicolas Maduro can’t seem to resist putting on a hat. For someone whose head was always bare, it looks silly and most of the time he looks too contrived and unnatural. But he continues doing it.

An excellent point. How can Pope Francis justify recognizing a man who on Friday declared Hugo Chavez to be “Christ on earth.” It’s repugnant. It’s disgusting. It should be an affront to ALL Christians. Not only should he be excommunicated, like Castro, but Francis should never even have agreed to see this slobbering imbecile.

I also seem to remember that Lusinchi’s ‘barragana” was not allowed to visit the Pope of the period and stayed behind (probably shopping).
Hopefully, Pope Francis said a couple of things under wraps to this clown about the hypocrisy of the visit by someone who is supposedly a Sai Baba follower and a materialist communist to boot? They simply can’t make up their mind — like this changing hat business. Take one off and put on another, whichever is more convenient.

I wonder at the commentary that seems to be making the rounds: “Nicolás is not Hugo,” as if Hugo were something admirable. They are both nincompoops who, under the direction of the Brothers castro, have taken a great number of people for a looong ride. What Hugo had was an ability to convince people to do his bid with empty platitudes.
